Free software for people who take 5 precepts
-
I think as a buddhist, we all should uphold 5 precepts, which include no stealing.
No stealing also include no use of pirated software. Here I list down some free of charge software that offer same features as licensed software.
Open Office (equivalent to MS Office)
AVG AntiVirus software
Gimp 2 (A full featured graphics editor)
With the use of Windows IME, one doesn't need chinese software in order to enter or display chinese words in windows.
The above software can be downloaded from www.download.com -
try changing it to music and see how many buddhists actually dun download songs (shld have lar, but im expecting few)
den again, some ppl insists downloading pirated material and infringing copyright regulations isn't stealing. -
Agreed. Those who thinks that software should be made available to everyone incl. the poor, these people should not support piracy, but instead, they should support open source projects.

For operating system, an alternative to windows is linux.
Personally the best linux that I find is
-suse linux
-ubuntu linux
Anyone else has any other recommendations? -
how i wish i could offer some help but i am totally nuts with computors and softwares.

Of course piracy is wrong, but it is also right, becaue it is rare and treasurable like finding a gem amidst rocks.
Piracy or not, many things are actually conspiracy. -
